Your baby has arrived but life is not quite what you expected!
Are you struggling to cope with the symptoms of Post Natal Depression?
You’re not alone, 1 in 10 new mums experience post-natal depression during pregnancy and during their child’s first year. Typical symptoms include:
Feeling sad and low in mood
Lack of energy
Trouble sleeping
Lack of concentration
Feeling like you can’t be bothered
Feeling agitated, irritable, hopeless and overwhelmed
Not enjoying the company of your baby, feeling indifferent
Thoughts of self -harm
Some mothers have thoughts of harming their baby which can be very unsettling
Kingston Welcare’s PlayPlus Project help mums manage postnatal depression by bringing mum and baby/toddlers together to enjoy sensory play sessions. Our weekly play sessions include:
Sensory play, crafts, stories, song and movement
Mums also have access to:
1 to 1 emotional support
Small Group Peer support, via WhatsApp group sharing
